Ballad Of Noah Lyrics - Atlantis: Hymns For Disco - K-os

I am conflicted, traveling the path of the soul, so gifted 

Still unable to break the mold 

I lifted the veil and still could not see 

Insisted my existence began with me 

Seems that I lost much, lost touch of reality 

It cost much of the soul 

What a fallacy this world is at times, I can't escape 

See myself with new eyes, now I'm trying to take 

The first step on a path that I know 

Is paved with much difficulty 

So I think I must save myself 

From a world that is falling down all around me 

I hear the sounds of laughter callin' after me 

Fallin' too fast, my close friends are asking me 

Casting their glance at each other as they speak 

With outstretched hands like I might be a victim of circumstance 

But I run 

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So everybody sings the blues 

And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So you don't have to sing the blues 

Under the sky, across the land, with a horse 

It felt like a sky and the land were divorced 

The way, it wasn't easy, a rock in the past 

So what's the matter with you when the rock just laughed? 

Carrying a load for the conscious untoiling 

I went to the water and the water was boiling 

The load was heavy and rocks filled my course 

My horse drank the water and the water killed my horse 

I tried to keep going, weak in the knee 

A righteous wind blew and it was speaking to me 

The way seemed harder since my horse been dead 

I couldn't understand everything the wind said 

Looked up at the sky and seen something strange 

Returned to my country and my country was up in flames 

The trees were bleeding, they said they couldn't hide me 

Where will I run to without my horse beside me? 

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So everybody sings the blues 

And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So you don't have to sing the blues 

Just like king Midas turned things to gold 

I touched my soul and felt my warm blood turn cold 

I was told, we paint the picture we want to see 

The dream, she's the woman, I'm a machine 

Jacqueline is my mother but not Onassis 

Wearing sunglasses, taking me to pray on Sunday 

Not one day, but three, we attended the church 

Watched my father get up, grab the Bible and then work 

The Scripture, get the picture? 

Preacher in my blood 

And people in my hood, no threat of attack 

Just a jean jacket and an arcade, the fact 

From a ecclesiastic kid who was afraid to be black 

Imagine that type of ghetto 

It still isn't settled 

I play Sex Pistols and listen to heavy metal 

I ate lunch all by myself in a meadow 

And healed every scar with wishing to be a star 

Now it's on, so tell me why I sing a sad song 

Who's the pawn? Was I being fooled all along? 

Not at all 'cause now I'm strong 

Innocence deterred, was never gone 

I feel it, it's coming, the break of dawn 

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So everybody sings the blues 

And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails 

We've all walked in each other's shoes 

So you don't have to sing the blues
